Phase Five

Summary

Children entering Phase Five are able to read and spell words containing adjacent consonants and some polysyllabic words. (See Appendix 3: Assessment.)

The purpose of this phase is for children to broaden their knowledge of graphemes and phonemes for use in reading and spelling. They will learn new graphemes and alternative pronunciations for these and graphemes they already know, where relevant. Some of the alternatives will already have been encountered in the high-frequency words that have been taught. Children become quicker at recognising graphemes of more than one letter in words and at blending the phonemes they represent. When spelling words they will learn to choose the appropriate graphemes to represent phonemes and begin to build word-specific knowledge of the spellings of words.

The teaching materials in this phase provide a selection of suitable words and sentences for use in teaching Phase Five. These words are for using in the activities – practising blending for reading and segmenting for spelling. These are not lists to be worked through slavishly but to be selected from as needed for an activity.

It must always be remembered that phonics is the step up to word recognition. Automatic reading of all words – decodable and tricky – is the ultimate goal.

READING

It must always be remembered that phonics is the step up to fluent word recognition. Automatic and effortless reading of all words – decodable and tricky – is the ultimate goal. By repeated sounding and blending of words, children get to know them, and once this happens they should be encouraged to read them straight off in reading text, rather than continuing to sound and blend them aloud because they feel that this is what is required. They should continue, however, to use overt or silent phonics for words that are unfamiliar.

New graphemes for reading

ay day oy boy wh when a-e make

ou out ir girl ph photo e-e these

ie tie ue blue ew new i-e like

ea eat aw saw oe toe o-e home

au Paul u-e rule

It is probably unnecessary to continue teaching mnemonics for new graphemes. As children build up their speed of blending and read more and more words automatically, many of them will assimilate new graphemes in the course of their reading. To ensure that all children know these graphemes, they should be quickly introduced through high-frequency words such as those suggested above.

Example session for split digraph

i-e

Purpose

To teach a split digraph through showing its relationship to a known grapheme Resources

Grapheme cards t, m, p, n, and ie × 2 Scissors

Reusable sticky pads Procedure

Ask the children to sound-talk and show fingers for the word tie while a child makes it using the grapheme cards.

Ask the children what needs to be added to tie to make time.

Hold the m against the word tie thus making tiem, sound-talk it and explain that although there are graphemes for each phoneme this is not the correct spelling of time, as words like this are written slightly differently.

Cut the ie grapheme card between the i and the e, explaining that in this word we need to separate the two letters in the grapheme and tuck the final sound in between.

Stick the four letters onto the whiteboard and draw a line joining the i and the e. Repeat with pie and make into pine.

Display or write on the whiteboard the high-frequency words that use the split digraph (e.g. like, make, came, made).

Known graphemes for reading: common alternative pronunciations

Purpose

To recognise that alternative pronunciations of some graphemes in some words need to be tried out to find the correct one

Resources

Words on individual cards, half of the words illustrating one pronunciation of a grapheme and half illustrating the other (e.g. milk, find, wild, skin, kind, lift, child) – see ‘Known graphemes for reading: alternative pronunciations’ on page 152)

Procedure

Display a word where the vowel letter stands for the sound learned for it in Phase Two (e.g. milk) and ask the children to sound-talk and read it.

Display a word with the alternative pronunciation (e.g. find), sound-talk and read it using the incorrect pronunciation and therefore saying a nonsense word.

Discuss with the children which grapheme might have a different pronunciation (e.g. find).

Sound-talk the word again and read the word, this time correctly. Display another word.

Ask the children to sound-talk it to their partners and decide the correct pronunciation.

Choose a pair of children and ask them to read the word. Continue with more words.

Flashcards

Purpose

To say as quickly as possible the correct sound when a grapheme is displayed Resources

Set of A4 size cards, one for each grapheme (or graphemes stacked on interactive whiteboard screen)

Procedure

Hold up or slide into view the grapheme cards the children have learned, one at a time.

Ask the children to say, in chorus, the sound of the grapheme.

Increase the speed of presentation so that children learn to respond quickly. Frieze

Resources

Frieze of graphemes Pointing stick/hand Procedure

Point to or remotely highlight graphemes, one at a time at random, and ask the children to tell you their sounds.

Gradually increase the speed.

You could ask a child to ‘be teacher’ as this gives you the opportunity to watch and assess the children as they respond.

Quick copy

Purpose

To recognise two-letter and three-letter graphemes in words and not read them as individual letters

Resources

Words using some newly learned graphemes in which all graphemes of two or more letters are underlined (e.g. pound, light, boy, sigh, out, joy)

Same words without the underlining (e.g. pound, light, boy, sigh, out, joy) Magnetic whiteboards with all the appropriate graphemes to make the words, one per child

Extra letters to act as foils (e.g. if the grapheme oy is needed, provide separate letters o and y as well)

If custom-made graphemes are unavailable, attach letters together with sticky tape to make graphemes.

Procedure

Display a word in which the grapheme is underlined.

Ask the children to make the word as quickly as possible using their magnetic letters and saying the phonemes (e.g. t-oy) and then reading the word.

Check that, where appropriate, children are using joined letters, not the separate letters.

Repeat with each word with an underlined grapheme.

Repeat 1–4 with words without the underlined graphemes, being particularly vigilant that children identify the two-letter or three-letter graphemes in the words.

Procedure

Display the list of words, one underneath the other.

Explain to the children that the object of this activity is to read as many words as possible before the sand timer or stop clock signals ‘stop’.

Start the timer.

Call a child’s name out and point to the first word. Ask the child to sound-talk the letters and say the word.

Repeat with another child reading the next word, until the time runs out. Record the score.

The next time the game is played, the objective is to beat this score.

With less confident children this game could be played with all the children together reading the words.

Sentence substitution

Purpose

To practise reading words in sentences Resources

A number of prepared sentences at the children’s current level (see ‘Word reading activities’, on page 158, for suggestions)

List of alternative words for each sentence Procedure

Write a sentence on the whiteboard (e.g. Paul eats peas with his meat). Ask the children to read the sentence with their partners and raise their hands when they have finished.

All read it together.

Rub out one word in the sentence and substitute a different word (e.g. Paul eats beans with his meat).

*As shortened forms of words, Mr and Mrs cannot be taught in this way. You could write out Mister in full and show that the shortened version is the first and last letters, Mr. Then show how Mrs is a shortened version of Mistress.

The -ed morpheme at the end of looked, called and asked designates simple past tense and can be pronounced in a number of ways (/t/ in looked and asked, and /d/ in called).

Teaching and practising reading

high-frequency (common) words

There are 100 common words that recur frequently in much of the written material young children read and that they need when they write. Most of these are decodable by sounding and blending, assuming the grapheme–phoneme correspondences are known. By the end of Phase Two, 26 of the high-frequency words are decodable; a further 12 are decodable by the end of Phase Three and six more at Phase Four. During Phase Five children learn many more graphemes so that more of these words become decodable. Some of them have already been taught as tricky words in earlier phases, leaving 16 to be decoded in Phase Five. These are don’t, day, here, old, house, made, saw, I’m, about, came, very, by, your, make, put (south) and time. Reading a group of these words each day, by applying grapheme–phoneme knowledge as it is acquired, will help children recognise them quickly. However, in order to read simple sentences it is necessary also to know some words that have unusual or untaught GPCs (‘tricky’ words) and these need to be learned (see Notes of Guidance for Practitioners and Teachers, page 15, for an explanation).

Ask the children to read the sentence with their partners and raise their hands if they think it makes sense.

All read it together.

Continue substituting words – Paul eats peas with his meat; Paul eats beans with his meat; Paul reads peas with his meat; Paul cooks peas with his meat – asking the children to read the new sentence to decide whether it still makes sense or is nonsense.

(13)

Letters and Sounds:

Phase Five

Procedure

Remind the children of some of the other words with ‘tricky bits’ that they already know (e.g. the, come, her).

Read the caption pointing to each word, then point to the word to be learned and read it again.

Write the word on the whiteboard.

Sound-talk the word, and repeat putting sound lines and buttons (as illustrated on page 140) under each phoneme and blending them to read the word. Colour and discuss the bit of the word that does not conform to standard GPC, i.e. the tricky bit (e.g. in could, the middle grapheme is not one of the usual spellings for the /oo/ sound).

Read the word a couple of times with the children joining in, and refer to it regularly during the day so that by the end of the day the children can read the word straight away without sounding out.

Ask the children do the same with their partners.

Practising reading high-frequency words

Both the decodable and tricky high-frequency words need lots of practice so that children will be able to read them ‘automatically’ as soon as possible.

Resources

Between five and eight high-frequency words, including decodable and tricky words, written on individual cards

Procedure

Display a word card.

Point to each grapheme as the children sound-talk the graphemes (as far as is possible with tricky words) and read the word.

Say a sentence using the word, slightly emphasising the word. Repeat 1–3 with each word card.

Display each word again, and repeat the procedure more quickly but without giving a sentence.

Repeat once more, asking the children to say the word without sounding it out. Give the children a caption or sentence incorporating the high-frequency words to read at home. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Procedure

Give pairs of children yes/no cards.

Display a yes/no question for the children to read.

Ask them to confer with their partners and decide whether the response is ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

Ask them to show their cards.

Sometimes invite a pair to read the question. Repeat 2–5 with another question.

Resources

A number of prepared questions or statements, three correct answers and one incorrect answer (see suggestions on page 159)

Procedure

As for ‘Yes/no questions’ except that children decide which of the four possible answers are correct.

Homographs

Purpose

To learn that when two words look the same the correct pronunciation can be worked out in the context of the sentence

Resources

Six sentences using homographs, for example: Wind the bobbin up!

She will read it to her little brother. The wind blew the leaves off the trees. You have to bow when you meet the queen. He read about the frightening monster. Robin Hood used a bow and arrows. Procedure

Display a sentence and read it using the incorrect pronunciation for the homograph.

Ask the children which word doesn’t fit the sense of the sentence. Try the alternative pronunciation and reread the sentence.

Display another sentence and ask the children to read it with their partners so it makes sense.

Ask a pair to read it aloud. Continue with more sentences.

Phoneme spotter

Purpose

To generate words containing the same target phoneme with a range of different spellings

To draw attention to the common ways to spell the target sound as a way of learning to spell the word

Resources

Phoneme spotter story (see examples on pages 160–165): enlarged copy of the story for display

copies of the story, one per child or pair of children coloured pencils or pens

Procedure

Display the enlarged version of the story.

Read the story to the children and ask them to listen out for the focus phoneme. Remove the story from view and reread it, asking the children to put their thumbs up whenever they hear the focus phoneme.

Display the text again and read the title, pointing to each word. Underline any word containing the focus phoneme.

Repeat with the first paragraph.

Ask the children to do the same on their copies.

Continue reading the story slowly while the children follow word by word, underlining each word that has the focus phoneme.

Ask the children to tell you which phonemes they spotted in the second paragraph and underline them on the enlarged copy.

Write on the whiteboard the first six underlined words in the story.

Ask the children to read the first word, sound-talk it and tell their partners what graphemes stand for the focus phoneme.

Ask a pair to tell you.

Repeat with the remaining words.

Notice the different graphemes that represent the focus phoneme.

Draw three columns on the whiteboard and write a different grapheme at the top

Write one word from the story under each grapheme (e.g. rain, day, lane). Ask the children to draw three columns in their books or on paper and write the words from the story in the appropriate column.

Variation

Rhyming word generation

Procedure

Write a word on the whiteboard (e.g. rain).

Ask the children to suggest words that rhyme (e.g. lane, Spain) and write them on the whiteboard.

Write another word containing the same vowel phoneme (e.g. date) and ask the children to suggest words that rhyme and write them down.

Repeat with another word (e.g. snake).

Repeat with one more word, this time one that has the vowel phoneme at the end of it (e.g. day).

Pick any word and ask the children what grapheme represents the vowel phoneme.

Children discuss with their partners, write the grapheme on their whiteboards and hold them up.

Draw columns on the whiteboard and write the grapheme at the head of one column.

Ask the children to find a word with a different spelling of the phoneme. Write the grapheme at the head of another column.

Repeat with another word until all alternative spellings for the vowel phonemes are written as column headers (e.g. ai, ay, a-e,ea, aigh, eigh).

Write one word under each grapheme (e.g. rain, day, date, great, straight, eight).

Ask the children to draw columns in their books or on paper and write the words from the whiteboard in the appropriate column.

Purpose

To develop children’s knowledge of spelling choices Resources

Lists of words generated from ‘Phoneme spotter’ (above) or a variation, under grapheme headers, for example as follows:

Common Rare

ay ai a-e ea aigh eigh e-e ey

day rain lane great straight eight fete they

play wait mate

may train bake

say brain snake

tray pain late

etc. etc. etc.

Whiteboards and pens, one per child Procedure

Display the lists of words.

Discuss which columns have most words in them and which the least. Point out that in English some spelling patterns are very rare but that some very common words (e.g. they) have rare spellings.

Ask the children if they can spot a pattern (e.g. the ay grapheme occurs at the end of words; the commonest spelling for the phoneme followed by t is ate; the commonest spelling for the phoneme followed by k is ake).

Ask the children to write a word not on display containing the same phoneme as some of the words listed (e.g. hay).

Where there are potentially two possible spellings ask the children to write which grapheme they think might be in a particular word and decide whether they think it is correct when they have looked at it written down.

The children then learn the correct spelling.

Write the word to be learned on the whiteboard and check that all the children can read it.

Say a sentence using the word.

Sound-talk the word raising a finger for each phoneme. Ask the children to do the same.

Discuss the letters required for each phoneme, using letter names. Ask the children to ‘trace the shape of’ the letters on their raised fingers. Rub the word off the whiteboard and ask them to write the word on their whiteboards.

Note: Although ending in the letter e, some, come and have are not split digraph words. It is easiest to suggest that the last phoneme is represented by a consonant and the letter e. It is not possible to show the phonemes represented by graphemes in the word one.

Assessment

(See ‘Notes of Guidance for Practitioners and Teachers’, page 16.) By the end of Phase Five children should:

give the sound when shown any grapheme that has been taught; for any given sound, write the common graphemes;

apply phonic knowledge and skill as the prime approach to reading and spelling unfamiliar words that are not completely decodable;

read and spell phonically decodable two-syllable and three-syllable words; read automatically all the words in the list of 100 high-frequency words; accurately spell most of the words in the list of 100 high-frequency words; form each letter correctly.

■

Remind the children that a space is needed between words and put a mark where the next word will start.

Ask the children to say the sentence again.

Ask for the next word and ask what letters are needed. Repeat for each word.

Ask about or point out the full stop at the end of the sentence.

Independent writing

When children are writing, for example in role-play areas, their letter knowledge along with their ability to segment will allow them to make a good attempt at writing many of the words they wish to use. Even though some of their spellings may be partially inaccurate, the experience gives them further practice in

segmentation and, even more importantly, gives them experience in composition and makes them see themselves as writers. Children should be able to spell most of the 100 high-frequency words accurately during the course of Phase Five. 6.
